Ingredients

• 4 pounds rump roast
• 1 large onion
• 4 carrots
• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 oven bag

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to form a seasoning paste.

Step 5

Rub the seasoning paste all over the rump roast, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 6

Add 1 tablespoon of flour into the oven bag, then shake the bag to coat the inside evenly. This will help prevent the bag from bursting.

Step 7

Place the oven bag in a large roasting pan. Lay the onion rings on the bottom of the bag to create a bed for the roast.

Step 8

Add the seasoned rump roast to the bag, placing it on top of the onion rings.

Step 9

Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the roast inside the bag.

Step 10

Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the bag for moisture and additional flavor.

Step 11

Seal the oven bag using the provided tie, then cut 6 small slits in the top of the bag to allow steam to escape.

Step 12

Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven, ensuring the bag does not touch the sides or top of the oven.

Step 13

Cook for approximately 2 hours, or until the rump roast reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or your preferred level of doneness.

Step 14

Once cooked, carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven and let the roast rest inside the bag for 10 minutes before opening to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 15

Carefully cut open the bag, being cautious of the steam, and transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter.

Step 16

Serve hot and enjoy your tender, flavorful oven bag rump roast!
